12 Chassis, Sled, and IOA Template Cloning using Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise version 3.2 | Document ID
2.2 USE CASE 2
This use case describes a complex deployment technique. Here we discuss a way to successfully clone and
deploy a complete Reference setup of an MX7000 chassis configuration to a newly procured chassis having
additional sleds as compared to the Reference setup thereby requiring a separate VLAN association.
Note: This whitepaper is written with an assumption that the current OME appliance is not used for the
Reference Setup configuration.
2.2.1 Chassis Configuration
You have an MX7000 Chassis containing two sleds and two IOMs fully configured by OpenManage Enterprise
(represented as the Reference Setup). The newly procured MX7000 chassis has four sleds and two IOMs based
on your data center’s needs.
Note: Ensure that the newly procured chassis has sleds placed in the exact same slots as the reference chassis.
The additional sleds can be placed in the other slots as desired. For example, sleds in the new chassis should
be placed in Slots 1 and 3 if the Reference setup has sleds in those slots.
